Postrun: the day after

Monday. My hip joints were so sore it was difficult to walk. My quads were a little sore but not too bad. Just from missing 4 weeks of running? Use it or lose it. It's almost comical to be this sore. I feel like I'm starting over. Wasn't I running 6 and 7 seven miles before? What happened?!

I had to go to the grocery store and what did they have on sale?

My mom would make fried Spam sandwiches for me when I was a kid but she used the real Spam. Did your mom? Somehow I got a little nastalgic and bought a package. $1.

Meh. Mine didn't taste like the ones mom used to make. Probably best. It wouldn't surprise me if she cooked ours in Crisco years ago.

Light Spam sandwich with cheese and a Jazz apple

I also made an impulse purchase at the store:

They were just so pretty and spring-like that I had to have them. Purple and pink tulips. How could I resist?

Still taking my huge Glucophage crumbs 3x a day:

﻿The largest I can take without getting sick.

﻿These are the quick release pills instead of the extended release. I wouldn't be able to crush the XR and take crumbs. Still hoping that I either get used to taking these or I can stop taking them. One or the other.

Chuck got home from work while there was daylight outside! LOVE this time of year.

I put on a pork loin roast and we went for a walk. My poor hip joints were so stiff but I think it was good to work them out gently.

3.1 miles in 56 minutes. We weren't setting any speed records, that's for sure. But the evening was nice and the company was perfect.

Then it was time for dinner and a cup of sleepytime tea. And a little action with the foam roller on some slightly sore quads. :)

Eats:

Breakfast-2 fried eggs, light toast, sugar free chocolate milk

Lunch- light spam sandwich with mayo and cheese; Jazz apple (wasn't that great, the apple was the best part)

Gosh that seems like a lot of pills. Hopefully one day I can get off of some of these.

It's absolutely gorgeous outside. I'm thinking a bike ride may be in order. Hope your area is starting to show signs of spring too! In this part of Texas, we get about 3 weeks of spring (if we're lucky) then it's summer. So we have to enjoy every minute we can. :)

Not lucky today with our weather but hoping to be better by tomorrow. I need a sunshiny day. Maybe it will motivate me to get moving again. I remember spam sandwiches. Loved em them but doubt they would sit well with me now. I don't do great with fried anything these days other than veggies sauteed in a little olive oil.

LOL @ Light Spam!!! I cannot even believe they make that...really, what is the point?! HA!

Great job on your run, Kelly! Isn't it amazing how quickly the endurance diminishes?! It hit me this morning during my run. I started belly-aching about doing 2 miles, then had to remind myself just 4 months ago I ran a half marathon! Crazy!Just wondering what thyroid meds you're on? Is it Synthroid?

My mom used to make Spam breakfast sandwiches when we went camping - fried Spam, a fried egg, a slice of cheddar cheese, sandwiched between two slices of toast. It was good! I went through a nostalgic phase (too funny, what Spam evokes) about 10 - 15 years ago and made my kids fried Spam. They liked it - and I'd probably still like it if I ate it now! Ahh, food memories. :)

LOVING this Spring weather. This is when it's so nice to live in Texas!
